Seriously..my mom has ALWAYS been an EXCELLENT seamstress...Me? I rush...I make mistakes and hide them. I'm just impatient. So I gave my mom this MOST ADORABLE Sandi Henderson fabric to whip out a cute top for Chayce. Of course my mom claims that sewing for her is so therapeutic. That makes sense since the entire time I did this quilt, I was pretty relaxed. :) Anyways, I just have her 6 fat quarters of this Waterlilies fabric. And this is how it turned out..is this just too cute? :)
oh my goodness....that top is too cute! way to go mom!! i love the colors, style...everything about it.
*the fist picture is great! what a cutie!

Dear Shabby Grandma,
LOVE this.. it is just precious! I am wondering .. if it is at all possible for you to get some VERY fat squares and whip up a similar top for me. I think it could hide a multitude of 'difficult areas' ... and i would be ever so cute.. just like Chayce right?

Do I understand you to say you bought 6 fat quarters and your Mom made this from THOSE??? I am probably your mom's age and I have sewn fro a long time . . . .but making something like that??? only in my dreams!!!!!

Please tell me she used a pattern so that I can get one like it! I LOVE the results here ... what an awesome adorable top! If I had it I think I would want to wear it every day.
